Bleeding Kansas

From Fort Scott National Historic Site, National Park Service:

All of these weapons were used by Kansans during Bleeding Kansas. From left to right we have: a double-barrel shotgun and the 1853 Slanting breech sharps Carbine. The pistol at the top right is a M1836 .54 Cal conversion single-shot horse pistol. The bowie knife at the bottom right was a versatile weapon used for hunting and combat.
